Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 319

As the thought of the fact that Maranda followed Jesse's advice to organize the press conference crossed her mind, anger rushed to Jean's face.

'If it were not for you, Maranda would not have put herself under the gun. My dear Maranda! Why were you so thoughtless?

The press conference helped doing nothing but made them thirsty for your blood, ' thought Jean.

"I'm not here to taunt you but I thought that you would be okay dealing with such a small press conference? This really disappointed me. It seems like I should have never trusted you but I should have done it all by myself," she said. A smile crept up on Jesse's face.

"What are you planning to say?" Jean heard Jesse's words. She stared at Jesse for a little while and said,"You must have known the consequences beforehand! You set this up! But what was your purpose? What is it? Is it because..."

Jean was shocked when she figured out the reason.

"Yes! That is what is in your mind." Jesse thought that there was no need to conceal her intention and she admitted,"All I did was to help Zed. The press conference has diverted the public's attention to Qin's, Ron's and Li's family instead. I hate to see Zed trying to make efforts in order to reduce losses. Even if the press conference hadn't gone well, It would have still benefited the Qi Group."

"Jesse Tang! You!" A furious look took over her. Jean put out one finger and pointed at Jesse. She still failed to work out how to defend herself. She could only stare fiercely at Jesse.

"Don't stare at me like that! Zed is your husband. Do you want to help others rather than your husband? Besides, everything that happened was because of you," Jesse said sadly and gave Jean a blank look while thinking of everything that Jean had done.

"You! You dirty rat!" Jean raised her voice and said it out loud. Then she turned around quickly and rushed to her room.

As Jesse saw Jean leaving, a triumphant smile flashed across Jesse's face. She was so happy to make Jean suffer.

'I'm going to make you realize that you are not innocent. You are the troublemaker.

Zed tolerats your mistakes and protects you from any harm

but not everyone will do that.

I will make you realize that you are the one who always makes mistakes and causes trouble, ' Jesse thought.

Jean, on the other hand, rushed to her room and started crying as she crumpled and fell on the floor.

She knew that what Jesse said was true. She had to face reality.

Even so, it was still hard to accept what Jesse had just said.

'Yes, I should be blamed!

It all happened because I accompanied Maranda to that blind date.

Everyone knows that the one behind all this aims at Zed and the Qi Group.

However, Jesse blames me for everything. In her opinion, I'm the only one who should take full responsibility. I have also created troubles for Zed and his company.

I understand that Jesse is in love with Zed so she hates me.

But what about Zed?

Zed hates me too, right? He probably thinks that everything happened because of me.

Why doesn't he at least give me a chance to explain as to what happened? I have tried to look for the right time to explain everything.

Do you know that I'm waiting for you, Zed? I hope you suddenly appear before me and tell me about your affair with Jesse.

Can we go back to the way it was, Zed? Can we be together like we were before? Whenever I doubted you, you would show up and explain everything. I once doubted your relationship with Jesse. But you explained immediately that you take her as your little sister.

I have been waiting for you all these days, but you never show up. You know I can't do this to myself any more, Zed.

Zed!'

Jean murmured. She felt so frustrated as she thought about the connections between them. She buried her head in her hands.

'You saw them together from your own eyes and your heart was broken but you are still expecting Zed to appear out of nowhere and tell you about everything?

Will he tell you that he and Jesse are just friends?

But...

You are so stupid, Jean! Why do you still try to find an excuse for him?

It is definitely not a misunderstanding. You met Zed twice in the hospital and his attitude clearly showed that he didn't care about you at all. Your marriage is nothing but a piece of paper for him.

You should have realized that in the beginning.

He went to the hospital to bring you back only because of his grandpa.

What Jesse just said perfectly confirms the fact that you are trying so hard to deny. The fact is that Zed doesn't love you any more. Why are you still trying to deny it?

Why?'

Her stomach stirred with different kinds of feelings. Jean couldn't control herself and tears began pouring down her cheeks. Jean raised her head and roamed all over the room. Everything inside was still the same as she left it

'Everything is the same.

What's about our love, then? Are we still the same as we were in the past?

Stop overthinking, Jean!'

Jean thought and shook her head, as she wiped her tears off of her face.

She loved Zed. But she had lost her confidence in him. She was sure he was over her.

'Zed, we are over now!'

Jean concluded. She took a deep breath and got up.

Her legs became numb.

Jean used her hands as she maintained her balance. After a while, she felt better and she opened her eyes.

'Look at yourself, Jean! You should take care of yourself.

No one cares about you, not even Zed. Stop being so weak. He is not yours anymore.

Be strong enough to wiggle out of all your troubles, Jean!'

Jean collected her emotions and walked toward her wardrobe. She took out of her pyjamas and headed into the bathroom.

It was late when Zed finished his work.

He didn't go to the bedroom right after work. Instead, he lighted up a cigarette and then plopped down on his soft leather sofa.

He closed his eyes and a faint smile came over his lips.

Zed was afraid to meet Jean now. He had tried so hard to conceal his love for her, but he wasn't sure if he could control himself tonight.

'Do you really understand me, Jean? I want to protect you. And I really miss you so much. I hope I could have your accompany every day.

I want to spend every minute of my day with you.

I miss the time when you were with me, your warmth. I'm used to having you wrapped around my arm. Without you, I hardly fall asleep.

I know you hate me because I have always treated you harshly but I didn't mean to hurt you.

Since I can't explain anything to you, I have to make sure you follow my orders.

You might feel uncomfortable but that's the best I can do for us, '

Zed thought. He would like ito go back to the bedroom after work but he was too scared to see Jean now.

Suddenly, he started laughing and put out his cigarette.

'Why am I afraid?

Isn't she my woman?

I love her so much.

What I should do now is to meet her and hold her in my arms.'

As he thought that, he jumped up from the sofa and rushed out of the study room.

As he was just outside the room, Zed spotted Jesse as she walked out of the guestroom. Jesse walked toward him and said,"Zed, did you finish your work?"

"Yes," Zed replied and nodded. Seeing Jesse stood there with bare feet, Zed frowned and scolded her,"Why don't you put on your shoes?"

"Oh, I forgot!" Jesse looked down at her feet and said shyly. She hesitated for a while, then continued,"Zed, it seems that... It seems like I got Jean's back up."
